Concert Message
WELCOME back to the theatre! WELCOME to the MOB-14 Handbell Concert.
It has been more than 730 days or 2 years, since the MOB last performed for you in a concert setting like this. The Belless-ness in Singapore (including schools) since March 2020 has been deafening. But tough as it has been, this period has led us to a defining moment in the team. Everyone of us stood shoulder to shoulder in support and in believe, that one day, we will come back stronger than before: A New Sound, A New Beginning, A Vintage & Classic MOB...... And the day is TODAY.
Our new strategic thrust of the MOB in the next 10 years, will take us (and take you, our audiences) onto a different path: a path that is often seen as beyond the norm. Indeed, today's concert sets the stage for handbell music here in Singapore, to propel into the 21st century, when fusion cannot be ignored, where tradition meets evolution.
Today, you will be treated to an array of familiar favourite tunes, and led thru the concert by our returning "Mr Genie aka R.Chandran" as himself. Yes, the "Beam Blas Blues" magical phrase is back, as the MOB, together with our guest drummer, Mr Tama Goh, takes us on a journey of handbells, meets the digital age, in a fusion of rhythms and styles, from Asia to America, from Europe to South America, from Africa to the movies and musicals.
Enjoy your day with us, as we, despite our reduced size of the team, put together a show of handbell music with drums, electronics, and multimedia.
Thank you all for your wonderful support in being here with us.
Yours Truly & On Behalf of the Handbellers,
The Principal Conductor
